The Crossover is a Great Motorcycle GPS!
The Magellan Crossover is not the end-all be-all of GPS systems. As a matter of fact you can get a much better Car type GPS brand new for around the same price you can find a used or refurbished Crossover.
The "crossover" functionality is nice but as mentioned by many the quality of the loaded topo maps is really bad. It's OK in a pinch but if Hiking or even Dirt Biking is your thing get a GPS designed for the job.
Where I think the Crossover really comes through is as an inexpensive all weather Motorcycle GPS. The Crossover with the most recent update available from Magellan is a great waterproof Motorcycle navigation system. Systems designed for motorcycles are way overpriced. An equivalent Car (not waterproof) system is a fraction of the price. Yes I know the MC systems have other features like HUGE letters to type with, but you know you should not be typing while riding regardless of the key size right?
With the Crossover and a $20 handlebar mount available on eBay you have a very good MC nav system for under $200. Troll the auctions on eBay and you may even get a Crossover setup for under $100.
I've used Crossovers on 2 bikes now, through rain, sleet and snow.
Here are the issues I've had with the 2 Crossovers I've owned (both purchased used on eBay)
1) Sometimes I have seen water get in under the first screen layer(touch layer I assume) but this does not seem to effect the unit and will dry out.
2) The touch screen can be a bit touchy and sometimes does not do as I expect when touched (fires wrong function or types wrong letter). This does not happen a lot but it does happen.
3) In really bright sunlight (sun behind you and hitting the screen right on) the screen can be hard to see. In this case I just block the sun with my left hand from time to time to get a good view of the screen.
4) This unit is discontinued by Magellan so I don't think many updates are in your future.
Keep the rubber side down…

Great on the road and off even to the lake
I bought this unit because I wanted something I could use in my and use on my boat and occasionally for hunting. So far it seems great I would recommend getting the update although it is $80.00 it is a huge improvement. I've had the unit for a week now and I love it, it's great around town and has alternate routes when there is traffic. It also has been a life saver in fog out on Lake Michigan. For the price you can hardly buy a color handheld and you wont get the screen size plus you get the turn by turn navigation. The screen is very readable in sunlight and is awesome at night. Great mount stayed attached to my boats windshield in 3 foot waves.
I would highly recommend this unit, the only reason I rated it good rather than excellent is because you have to pay for the update but just do yourself a favor and find one on ebay new or used you will save yourself alot of money.Lire l'avis complet...
Weekend Outdoorsman
I love this GPS. It may not be the "Cadillac Escalade" model. Instead, it would be the "4 WD" unit built for road and trail. I have only had one instance where it could not locate an address in a fairly new industrial park. Great to use to get you to the outdoor spot via the highway, take it off the holder, and take to the woods to switch to the "off-road" use it is also designed for. A little bulky for the pocket, but hey, it serves two uses.
If you want one with all the latest and greatest to use just in the car - go to another unit. But if you need one to cover both applications, this one is the one you need. You will not be disappointed.
Priced great and cheaper than buying two seperate units.Lire l'avis complet...
Magellan Crossover GPS Car/Marine GPS Receiver
WOW! Where do I start? First I got it used at an Ebay dealer for a ridiculously low price. The unit has a 3.5 inch touch screen, voice assist, 3 navigation choices (vehicle nav, marine and outdoor) and it works extremely well. It takes less than 30 seconds to acquire position even inside the house. When looking up addresses in car mode, it's almost psychic in it's intuitive ability to display what you are going to type next! I was looking for Quaking Aspen in Stateline Nevada and before I could text the entire word Stateline or Quaking, it came up with a choice. Not only is it for the car but for hiking and even the boat as you can get a free program online (easygps.com) to convert waypoints and coordinates to the proper format and then download them to an SD card and use it in the unit. FANTASTIC!!! For hiking it might be a bit unwieldly as it is rectangular having no provision for a lanyard but you can hold it easily and slip it in your pocket. Also, it has a battery saver function that shuts down the screen but continues to navigate. Great for Geocaching as you save your coordinates to the SD card by name and download them when wanted. OK, want more? Well then, it also has a photo viewer to see pics saved on your SD card and no, wait...it even plays MP3 files saved as well! As for the rechargeable battery, I left it on at home while going out and 6 hours later it still showed 2 bars indicating the use time to be about 8 hours. Not shabby and kits are available for a soft or hard case and 12 volt chargers. I totally am enthused by this GPS and used to use a bulky tablet PC for GPS. I still will bring the tablet on trips to go online, but this is my new choice for Auto, Marine or Outdoor GPS.Lire l'avis complet...
Magellan Support
I like this GPS. Easy to use. I know others that have one and like it. The only problem is if you don't buy from a Magellan outlet/retail store. You don't recieve the Magellan 30 day Map Guarantee. This means if you provide proof of purchase you'll receive the latest updated maps (once)free of charge less shipping. I still think that if the product hasn't been registered before and you do provide proof of purchase Magellan should still support their product.
Just something to keep in mind when buying stuff from a private person instead of a store.Lire l'avis complet...
Magellan Crossover
This is the 4th Magellan GPS I've bought. I've had a Tom-Tom and a Garmin, neither of which compare even remotely to any Magellan.
This is the 2nd Crossover I've bought. 1st one went to my daughter to use when she's at work in Yellowstone. I bought this one for my use in mountain biking.
Despite it being a used product, it was advertised as new, but that's another story. It shows little wear and functioned flawlessly immediately after charging the battery. I ran a test on a quick trip and it gave perfect instructions. I had to order a cradle for it, as there wasn't one, despite it being advertised as having one.
Charge time was quick,and the charge lasted for several hours under constant use. Entering addresses was easy as were entering way points. Easy to use navigation and easy to use system options make this a really good unit.
Ultimately, you will never go wrong buying a Magellan...just be careful who you buy it from.Lire l'avis complet...
Be Vewwwwy careful
I opened the box, all excited and ready to go. Didnt do my homework. This thing would work like a champ if the maps were updated...it doesnt show my street, which has been here for over 60 years. I can find faster routes by dead reckoning.
It advertises that it is good for geocaching, hiking, water play, and indeed it is, if you want to spend another $150+ + + + for maps to enable it.
Overall, it works pretty good for the highway, rural is dubious, and unless you want to spend as much as you paid for the gps so that you can use the rest of the functions, find another one. I found a model that does it all, for $200 less, and I dont have to buy the software to make it work.Lire l'avis complet...
Magellan RoadMate™ 2500T GPS Receiver
I love the fact it has road and trail features. I hate the fact that you can't use them at the same time. The water isn't marked in blue unless it is zoomed in too close. I'm still learning the machine but it is relatively easy with a little experience.Lire l'avis complet...
Magellan Crossover GPS
I purchased this because it is water resistant, now remember not water-proof, but it can stand being in the rain. So I can use it on my motorcycle.
It has proven to be very good for directions. I use it daily in my business as an insurance fraud investigator. This makes me travel all over NYS daily and it has not let me down. I did purchase updated programs for it and it enhanced the device's abilities. Well built, the only thing I could ask for is more volume capability in the spoken directions, sometimes with the radio or road noise interfering I have trouble hearing the directions.
Generally I am very pleased with my purchase.Lire l'avis complet...
Magellan Road mate
I wanted to use this part time on a motorcycle so I love that it is compact and water proof. I thought the screen might be too small but it is clear and easy to see and program. I love the text to speech and the directions are very accurate. I also love that I type in part of an address and the address appears complete before I'm halfway done. It has taken me on routes even in areas I know well that I would never have thought of so it is a bit exploratory. I am taking it to Philadelphia this week, a very complicated city that I frequently get lost in and I expect to really enjoy having it. In short, it's almost miraculous in its function and great fun to use. Mine also has marine. I'll try that this summerLire l'avis complet...
